Itent this bar will be lifted, and it will be seen 45- ranged in guidesF, and having at their upper ends the indicating-tablets G.

H is the vibrating resetting-frame, hung by its side arms, a, on theshaft 0 and extending across the tops of the keys in rear of said shaft.

I is the usual supporting-wing for the tablet-rods, and actuated by thevibrating frame H through the medium of the usual bellcrank lever, J,and tripping-dog b acting on the wiper-block c of the wing-extension d,and e f are the resetting-springs for the wing.

K is the usual gong-hammer, secured to the wing-extension (Z andarranged to strike the gong L upon the resetting of the wing.

M N O are three registering-wheels strung upon a shaft, P, extendingacross the machine, and each provided with a ratchet containing, in thisinstance, one hundred teeth. The wheel M, which I term thefive-cent-register- .ing wheel, bears on its periphery five series v ofnumbers, each indicating multiples of five from 0 to 95. The wheel N, orten-cent wheel, .bears on its periphery one series of numbers indicatingmultiples of ten from O to 9.90,while the wheel 0, or dollar-wheel,bears on its periphery one series of numbers in multiples of one from 0to 99. The operating-keys B are arranged in two sets, those on the rightindicating cents in multiples of five from 5 to 95, inclusive, and thoseon the left dollars from 1 to 6, inclusive.

Hung upon the shaft C by side arms, g, .is a bar, Q, extendingtransversely across all of the cent-keys, excepting the five-cent key,in rear of their pivotal shaft 0. The .lower side of this bar, as seenin Fig. 3, is provided with a series of steps or graduations in inclinedorder downward from right to left, each of said steps extending over twokeys, one of which keys bears an odd number and the other the next lowereven num- Upon depressing any key to its full exthat it will be actuatedto differentdegrees .by keys whose values contain different multiples often, while it will be actuated to the same extent by keys whose valuescontain the same multiple of ten. Thus the ten and twenty cent keys willactuate it to different degrees, while the ten and fifteen cent keyswill actuate it to the same degree, and so on through the series, eachodd-numbered key .actuating it to the same extent as does the next lowereven-numbered key.

Hung upon the shaft P by the side of the wheel N is a downwardly andrearwardly ex- .tending arm or 'dog carrier, R, carrying aspring-pressed dog, It, in constant engagement with the ratchet of thewheel N. This arm R is connected by a link, S, to a rearwardly-extendinglug, j, on the bar Q, andv the adjustment of the parts is such that upondepressing any key to its full extent, and thereby lifting the bar Q,the armR will be lifted just far enough to cause its dog h to turn thewheel N a number of notches corresponding to the number of tens in thevalue of the operated key, and upon releasing the key the bar Q and armR will drop back to their normal position of rest. Thus the operation ofthe ten and fifteen cent keys will each cause the wheel N to be turnedone notch, the twenty and twenty-five cent keys two notches, and so on,the tens of the values of all the keys, both odd and even numbered,being registered on the wheel N.

Hung upon the shaft 0 by side arms, 70, is a five-cent bar, T, extendingunder all of the cent-keys in front of the shaftO, and provided withupwardly-extending projections Z, one immediately beneath each of theoddnumbered keys. To a rearward extension, m, of one of the side arms ofthe bar T is pivoted a weighted dog, n, engaging with the ratchet of thefive-cent wheel. From this construction it will be seen that upondepressing any one of the even-numbered keys it will play between theprojections on the bar T and the latter will not be moved but upondepressing any odd-numbered key it will engage the projection Zimmediately below it and depress the bar T, thereby actuating the dog atto turn the wheel M, and the adjustment of the parts is such that thisoperation of the bar T causes its dog to turn the wheel M just onenotch, thereby registering five cents thereon. The tens of the value ofthe operated key are simultaneously registered on the wheel N in themanner before explained.

It will thus be seen that the operation of any odd-numbered key causesthe wheel N to be turned less than half the distance required under theold construction, where it registered both even and odd multiples offive and was turned one notch for each multiple of five contained in thevalue of the op-- erated key. Thus under the old construction it wouldbe turned nineteen notches-by the operation of the ninety-five-centkey,while under my improved construction it is turned only nine notchesby the operation of said key. While I have shown the five-cent bar T asextending under the five-cent key, so

that the latter actuates the five-cent-registei ing wheel through themedium of said bar and its dog n, yet the five-cent key may, if desired,have pivoted to it a separate and independent dog engaging with theratchet of said wheel, in which event the bar T need not extend undersaid key.

An inclined bar, Q, hung on the shaft 0 by side arms, 9', extends acrossthe dollarkeys in rear of the shaft 0, and is arranged to actuate thewheel 0 through the medium of a dog-carrier, R, dog h, andconnecting-link S, corresponding to those of the wheel N, as will bereadily understood.

Spring-pressed holding-dogs o, secured to lugs p on the upper guidepiece, F, engage one with the ratchet of each of the wheels M N O toprevent said wheels being turned backward and to act as brakes on theirforward movement, in addition to which dogs any of the usual forms ofbrake mechanism may, if desired, be applied to the wheels N and O.

The amounts registered by the revolutions of the wheels M N O are takenoff on supplemental registering-disks secured to the under side of aplate, U, Fig. 2, extending across the registering-wheels, one of saidsupplemental disks being arranged adjacent to the periphcry of eachregisteringwheel and turned by a stud or pin projecting from said wheel,in the usual. manner.

It will be understood that in the side elevation of the machine shown inFig. 2 the dog It on the arm R is in engagement with the ratchet ot' thewheel N, which is immediately behind the wheel M in said view, while thedog a of the five-cent bar engages with the ratchet of the wheel M.

While the bar Q, as shown in Fig. 3, and as thus far described, isprovided on its lower side with a series of steps or graduations, witheach of which an even-numbered and an odd-numbered key are arranged toengage, for the purpose described, there are various other forms of saidbar which may be employed for the same purpose. For instance, it may bean ordinary inclined bar-such as shown in my patent before referredto-and the odd-numbered keys be slightly out out or notched at theirpoint of engagement with said bar; or, as seen in Fig. 4, the bar itselfmay be notched immediately above each oddnuinbered key, or the keysmight have their upper edges beveled from one side and each odd-numberedkey and the next lower evennumbered key be arranged close together, sothat they would engage the lower edge of the bar Q at substantially thesame point to actuate it to the same degree; or, again, as seen in Fig.5, the under side of the bar may be provided with two correspondinginclined surfaces, with one of which the group of evennumbered keysengage and with the other the group of odd-numbered keys, and a bar ofthis form might be cut in two at its center to form two inclined barsinstead of one bar with two inclines, in which event each of theportions would be connected to a common dog-carrier carrying a dogengaging with the ratchet of the ten-cent-registering wheel, undereither and all of which constructions each odd-numbered key and its nextlower evennumbered key would actuate the bar to the same extent, whileit would be actuated to different degrees by different odd-numbered keysas well as by different even-numbered keys.

Again, while I have shown and described my invention as applied to amachine employing a vertically-vibrating bar and pivoted keys, it isalso applicable to machines embodying a horizontally-vibrating bar andhorizontal pull-keys.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim- 1.
